1. As far as I know, we are not talking about moving this list to 
Yahoo but searching for a web place to handle distribution and 
development. So those lovely tail messages do not have any bearing :)

2. Look at the MacHTTP project at SourceForge, a small open source 
project with just a few people really doing active work and only 
sporadically. This is more like what our project would be. (And if 
you are confused about using CVS, check out their instructions for 
using MacCVS -- but as I wrote earlier, we do NOT have to use cvs at 
all.)

3. Personally, I don't really care that much where the files are as 
long as they are easily retrievable. After all, I won't be posting 
them there myself. And http-based downloads will do AFAIC.

4. Each location has its own pluses and minuses. I think that appeal 
of Yahoo is more of a community feeling whereas SourceForge is more 
in style of traditional programmers.

5. There are already two MetaCard groups at Yahoo, although I do not 
think any is really active.

6. A couple people offered to contribute for having a proper (paid) 
web site for this project. On second thought, however, I wonder 
whether this is justified and supportable on longer term. After all, 
we are talking about sth that will probably be of real interest to a 
dozen or two people.
